We want to go to Jesus....but not that fast...and not all at once, apparently

Oh! Common sense won over stupidity? Finally wisdom found a straight path from the crooked paths.

No big deal cause there won't be covid on my private planet I get when I die

magic masks?

Now try and deny these rules.. Mormons know!

Another Religious Exemption Gone. What Religions are left? Wear a Mask, wash your hands, keep your distance and most of all Get the Vaccine.

The mask should go well with their magic underwear

Try um Vaccinations.

Masks = no Magic underwear = yes

Here come the right wing nutcases to say how tyrannical the Mormon church is

Those super liberal Mormons doing whatever the liberals want! (That’s sarcasm by the way).

Too many deaths is not good for business . Maybe the GOP will get off their high horse and help their own constituents not die.

Well according to this golden tablet an Angel just brought me that only I can read because of my magic rock; masks are stupid.

Many of priest have worn masks for years in public and are sick individuals.

They should also include drug screening for those with pill-popping behaviors - much more critical than a virus….

I saw my first Pentecostal today wearing a mask and that’s never happened Felt good to know I can still be shocked

Time is all it takes for everyone to become a believer in reality. No one is exempt. Don't let time and reality kick your ass.

Cult

sgw94 But we were told masks are the precursor to the Mark of ... never mind

Was there also a surge in the vaccinated? Methinks so.

Even a toddler who was born March/April 2020 when we knew a little about COVID-19, can say mom,dad its COVID-19, she/he is now a little over 1.5yrs old, can talk and understand what's up with adults! Grow up! COVID-19 is real stupid!

Just don't forget to donate your 10% with or without a mask.

😂😂😂 not in a rush to meet their creator!

Mormons have common sense, wow, who knew.

Maybe they finally saw the loss of that 10% tithe from people dying from COVID?

*cult

Meanwhile the UTES are playing inn a stadium. probably 20 k Humans wrapped tight like salmon in a can, spitting hollering and slapping dirty a' hands for 4 hours. no masks.
